Isle of Wight Humane Society and Windsor Castle Park Foundation are
pleased to announce the 1st Annual Dog Jog, 5k, and PawFest - a dog
friendly event for the entire family. This event is in conjunction with the
fifth anniversary celebration of Windsor Castle Park and our theme is
“Improve Your Health with Pets.” Some of the festivities include:
 5K at 9AM, timed using Chrono Track Bib Tag
 Kid’s Fun Run-10:30AM
 Agility and Flyball Demonstrations
VOLUNTEERS
 Narcotic and Crime Dog Demonstrations
NEEDED
 Raffle Tent/Vendors/Food/Music
We are looking for sponsors and donations of goods, services and/or
cash for the Dog Jog event. One thing we have learned is no act is
insignificant, no donation is too small. It is through the collective
generosity of our community that we are able to change a life – both for
animals and their caretakers. Please join the fun, either as a sponsor,
vendor, racer, donor, volunteer, or spectator.
Thank you for your participation!

registration, please visit our website: www.iowdogjog.org

Pets for Adoption
Munch, 5 months, neutered male, terrier
mix. Munch was tethered in his back yard
until a few weeks ago and loves his new
life off the chain. He loves to play and go
to the dog park with his foster mom. He
gets along well with other dogs and cats.
And he has the cutest ears!
Wesley, 5 month old neutered Pit mix, estimated adult
size 45-50 pounds. Wesley is a very sweet pup who
loves kids. And he looks so stylish as he dashes
through the snow in his warm blue coat.
Dylan, 3 year old Lhaso
mix. Housebroken, crate trained, and UTD
on vaccinations. Dylan is good with
people and other dogs, but doesn’t like
cats. He is showing some food aggression
and will need a family that can provide
consistent training. He must go to a home
with no children under the age of 12.
Liam, 3 year old neutered Wire Haired Dachshund.
Liam has undergone surgery and rehab for
Intervertebral Disc Disease ( IVDD) and has made
remarkable progress. He is now being treated for
heartworm disease. This fussy little boy with an
attitude is ready to choose his new home, but NO
small children, please.
Prissy, 2 year old female tortoise shell. She
was abandoned by her former owner, but
still loves people. She loves to play and be
petted. She needs to be on special urinary
tract food.

Note: Bailey was one of our “Happily Ever After” adoption stories. We don’t
know a thing about her previous life, but on a cold January night in 2013, she
was found wandering in Carrollton and taken in by one of our members.
A senior girl, blind and deaf, with medical issues, she was adopted by the
Williams family and given a loving home where she received vet care and
even eye surgery that restored some vision. She was pampered with toys,
treats, and jeep rides for her remaining two years of life.
The Williams would like to encourage others to adopt seniors and special needs
animals. Doing so really makes a difference in the quality of life for that animal
and comes with its own set of rewards.

Teaching a child kindness towards animals
builds character and will help the child to grow
into a more humane and responsible adult.
Teaching kindness to animals instills empathy,
which in turn translates into compassion for the
greater world.
Kids are never too young to learn compassion
and respect for animals.
